Description

Historic charm meets modern comfort in this beautifully preserved Colonial Revival, built in the 1940s by noted Durham builder Thomas Wray Wilkinson as his own family home. A thoughtful renovation in 2007 earned a Durham Historic Preservation Award, honoring the home's heritage while enhancing everyday livability. The interior offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2, 140 square feet of updated living space, including a finished basement that works well as a third bedroom, office or flexible bonus area. The home also features a laundry room, two fireplaces, and a sunroom that is heated and cooled for comfortable year round use. A one car garage and a new roof installed in 2021 add convenience and peace of mind. Classic details shine throughout, including gleaming hardwood floors, tile kitchen countertops, and timeless architectural elements that make the home both elegant and livable. Outside, the backyard feels like a private sanctuary with two ponds, a stone patio, and a cascading waterfall. It is a rare and tranquil retreat just steps from downtown Durham, Duke's East Campus, and the vibrant Duke Park neighborhood. This home offers historic character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional location all in one.
